Beta: the pokécheck legality checker for generation 5


xfr

Recommended Posts

Found another false positive: Giratina holding a Griseous Orb becomes Giratina-O, gaining Levitate as it's ability, but the legality checker declares the ability is hacked because it isn't part of it's normal dex entry.

Example: http://pokecheck.kraftpaper.org/?p=detail&uid=148819

Edit: Shaymin-S is the only other pokemon I can find that has a different ability while in an alternate form. It's not based on a held item like Giratina's is, but it'll probably hit the same false positive.

Alternate forms like Skymin or Giratina-O are not supported yet. The form exclusive moves/abilities/stats are not recognized.
Gotcha, so it's something you're already aware of then. Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really mattered...

I have a couple of false negatives to report.

http://pokecheck.kraftpaper.org/?p=detail&uid=129540, A level 2 rilou in a masterball.

http://pokecheck.kraftpaper.org/?p=detail&uid=129537, A level 5 treeko in a masterball.

Neither of these are in the wild at those levels, therefore they cannot be in masterballs. Infact, treeko don't even exist in the wild. I know, you're going to say, "What about the dream world?" If they were from the dream world, they would 1. Have dream world abilites. 2. Not be shiny. 3. Be level 10 or higher.

Those were probably obtained by action replay modifier. They are not recognized as hacked because there are no encounter (location+level) checks for generation 4, and since the catch location AND encounter level are deleted during transfer to gen 5 it is very difficult to check previous gen encounters without making many legitimate events or special cases illegal, like all the pokémon ranch stuff.

In other news I fixed Giratina-O and Skymin (the stats, abilities and moves, not the sprites).

Out of curiosity I thought I'd check out my pokemon and I'm getting "Default strain (might be from hacked pokérus)" for my pokemon when I know I obtained it legitimately.

My username on the site is slash. I got pokerus randomly on Black from some wild pokemon which I killed and have spread it to all my other pokemon.

I also find it odd that I get told "Pokémon is likely edited or RNG abused." when I RNG abused other pokemon and didn't get that message.

Just a thingie I was looking at when checking for something I just traded for (a grimer). It says:

"Nickname ベトベター\xFFFF\x0000\x0000\x5811\x0C02\xFFFF

This pokémon is not nicknamed but its name doesn't match the species name for its OT's language. "

Went on the usual sites and checked its name and it's ベトベター there as well. Just thought I'd go ahead and post about it.

The default strain can still be infectious to other Pokemon. It's only saying that it got infected from Gen 4 Pokerus, or it was hacked on and then spread.

My Carracosta has an "unknown encounter" (it's from Nacrene City). This could be a problem with fossils...

Also, I have a question regarding Gen 5 PIDs... I believe last time I checked some of my pokes they were alright, but now they say Invalid... It's all my JP pokemon from JP White.

Post links to them please ;)

I caught them, but used Pokegen's PID generator to change the PID because at the time natures were said to be related to PID still... I thought my Stoutland was unaltered since it happened to have an okay nature but I guess I was wrong...

But on a related note, the checker does not like eggs transferred between regions (and nicknamed)... o_0

My mistake, you're right. Trading eggs works except to japanese and corean games, because I'm missing the character table used for nicknames in those versions. The problem will be fixed once I find screenshot of all the character tables in jp/kr versions of the game and add them.

You get this warning when one of the encounter date is in the future or before B/W release, or when an egg was hatched before it was obtained from the daycare.

Most of the time this warning is not a bad thing as it is typically found on RNG abused pokémon.
